Any realtors out there can suggest any and explain your experience with them?

I have put the rental price below the market (as suggested by local real estate agents).

I would suggest that you make sure your Attorney records the deed as well.

For the immediate time, I'd love any contractors and handymen suggestions, but eventually, to work with agents to buy and sell in the area. 

I wouldn't suggest you buy a single-family home to live in because the additional cost outweighs the benefits.

The interest rate is nice, if there was a way to increase the cash flow to ~15% or greater COC you could pull a HELOC on the property for 9% and collect the delta.again though, i would suggest selling it and trying to lock up a property or two with the proceeds that required some sweat equity, force appreciation through a reno, rent it out, refinance and repeat (BRRRR)

They might have suggestions or updates that could help with this specific issue.

@Joe Villeneuve @Theresa Harris, thanks a lot for taking the time and provide some info/ideas/suggestionsTo give you some color for these properties, there is a 15 years-plan that my wife and I are planning to have arround 5 to 7 properties in the same $$$ range (-+ $200K) that we can rent them around $1600-$1800I believe after 10 yrs, I am expecting to a better cash flow considering some loans will be paid in full, but maybe the next properties will have as you suggest 30 year-loan. 

As far as calculating cashflow, I would still suggest considering all the PITI and other overhead expenses.
